The Report: Labor Day weekend was no weekend off for the LTHL, which returned to regular-season action Saturday, Aug. 30 following the Big 55 Stiga U.S. Open on Aug. 16. Ron Marsik, a quarterfinalist (and nearly a semi -finalist) at the Big 55, had a spotless reccord, going 16-0 in a double round -robin tournament. He even avenged his Big 555 loss to Jerry Pytlewski. With nine players participating, the two-fer was in order. The story of the night was Jeff Thill, who missed the Big 55 but showed no signs of rust, stepping up with a 12-4 record to take second. His only losses were to Marsik (a pair of OT contests), his father Rich early on and to Eric Krol. Jim Rzonca took third at 10-6. Dan Lord and Krol tied at 9-7 for fourth, and since they split their round robin matchup, a one-game playoff was in order. Lord stormed out to a 6-3 lead, with Krol getting two late ones before running out of time. Lord gets the extra point for the evening. Krol started out 0-5 before rebounding with a 9-2 finish, his streak broken by a one -goal loss to Marsik in the last 30 seconds. A welcome newcomer was Jim Salazar, brother of LTHL/CTHL veteran Joe Salazar. Jim started off on fire at 3-1 before settling back down to earth. We hope Jim becomes a regular in both Chicago-area leagues.
